Sam I Am

As I have previously mentioned, this is a painting for the upcoming Art in the Park show in October . This painting is from a wonderful reference photo from Hytham Elbohy.

This gorgeous macaw reminds me of a friends bird whose name was Sam. Sam was incredibly smart - would let himself out all the time and walked around like he owned the place (which he did).

Likewise, I use to visit a bird store near my home that specialized in larger birds (macaws, parrots, cockatoos, etc). A large, blue macaw use to sit on a perch in the one room & toss his toys at people. Then yell "pick it up" - guess he was teaching us humans how to fetch! Incredible birds indeed!

As I said, it is for the art show, by email if you are interested in this piece.

About Me

Creating (anything) has always been a part of my life. My paintings attempt to capture moments in time, where an emotion or feeling was felt. It's all about capturing the visual expression that is found in life. I find it is a truly wonderful way to live.
